Will MIN_TRACKS_LEFT always be a constant or could you imagine letting plugins/mixes set that value (within a certain range) as you do with number of used seed tracks and such? I'm only asking because sometimes I skip tracks very quickly (near the end of the current playlist) and it happens

I thought about that but decided against it. Not only because you'd have to repeat it after every update. I'd prefer a cleaner (and maybe more romust) way, one that only developers like Michael could provide. So until such a solution comes along one day I'll wait and continue to manually restart
